Nimlings

Learn the Nim programming language by fixing broken programs.

The current Nim documentation is in depth and comprehensive, but for newcomers it's a bit suffocating and hard to know where you need to go next.

It's my sincere hope that this project gets more people interested in Nim!

Goals

• Learn how to read and write Nim by fixing tiny programs.
• Real life Nim situations you'll see in normal day to day Nim work.
• Covers the 80% of Nim you'll see the majority of the time.
  • If you need to learn the other 20%, we'll provide good sources to dive deep.

Exercises

• Hello world
• Assignments
• If conditionals
• Strings

Usage Guide

You only need to have Nim 1.4.4 and Nimble installed to run all the Nimlings.

Use nimble run in the terminal to run all your exercises. Exercises are run sequentially and if one fails the others are halted. Give it a try.

Failure is the goal here, by failing and fixing the programs you will learn how Nim works and how to leverage nimble to run your projects.
